OK, some one has to go first so it might as well be me. When a met refers to the GOM residents or Gulf States they seem to separate Florida? I have heard many times for instance, all the Gulf States should keep an eye on this system including Florida residents. Would we not be a part of the East GOM? I am at a point that when I hear some one talking about the GOM but they don't specifically mention Florida then I don't anticipate us being at risk or affected by the storm in question. Can someone please explain why there is a separation made? T. Leap
